“Well I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet. But you’re kids are gonna love it” - some weird kid who played guitar at my high school prom back in ‘55

Everyone’s saying "Oh, this was at my prom in ‘55!" Well, y’know where I was during prom of ‘55? I was locked in some guys trunk.

this played at my school prom in 1955, the guitarist got a bit carried away though.

Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans Way back up in the woods among the evergreens There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode Who never ever learned to read or write so well But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell Go go Go Johnny go go Go Johnny go go Go Johnny go go Go Johnny go go Johnny B. Goode He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made The people passing by they would stop and say "Oh my what that little country boy could play" Go go Go Johnny go go Go Johnny go go Go Johnny go go Go Johnny go go Johnny B. Goode His mother told him "someday you will be a man And you will be the leader of a big old band Many people coming from miles around To hear you play your music when the sun go down Maybe someday your name will be in lights Saying "Johnny B. Goode tonight" Go go Go Johnny go Go go go Johnny go Go go go Johnny go Go go go Johnny go Go Johnny B. Goode

I heard this great one of a kind song in 1955 at my school prom, the guitarist went a little bit too nuts, but hes right about our kids loving it.

I was in High School Bands in the early 60's and the first song that we played was always Johnny B Goode. RIP Chuck. Thanx for all of that great music. Respect.

Anyone who is a true fan of R/R knows that Chuck was the true "King of R/R" His Lyrics to all the songs he composed were perfect for the start of 50"s R/R and his guitar rifts so original,Sweet Little 16 was my first buy when it hit the charts and amazing that 62 yrs later i still play and enjoy his records,thanks Chuck R.I.P. for so much fab music that will live forever.

Legend has it some kid played Johnny B. Goode at a high school dance in California in 1955 and that Chuck Berry heard the song over the phone through his cousin Marvin Berry who's band was performing at that high school dance in California and that's how Chuck Berry got the inspiration to make his version of Johnny B. Goode which eventually became a famous hit song.
